the Gambler

The Daily Prophet again.

It was the only vehicle now that would allow Harry and Voldemort to exchange messages without being furtive.Of course, most people will only regard it as a daily reading material, ignoring the increasingly fierce political influence game above.Harry opened the newspaper and read the headline carefully. It was obviously another bombshell since the Ministry of Magic published Thomas Gaunt's pro-Muggle tendencies.The mocking look of the Gryffindor boy didn't make Tom uncomfortable, but with an indifferent expression, he put the sliced ​​elbow sauce on the other's plate.Harry took a fork and smashed it into his stomach a few times before swallowing it. He pushed the plate aside and motioned for Tom to lean over as well.

[Gant was attacked, and the assassin was a witch?

[Reporter Anna King/Ministry of Magic Special Report]The latest news from the Ministry of Magic states that at 21:35 last night, newly promoted politician Thomas Gunter was attacked by masked gangsters on his way home from the Office of the Law Enforcement Division. Fortunately, the Auror Ministry had strengthened the security work for senior Ministry of Magic officials before, and the assassin was successfully captured and sent to the Auror interrogation room.Here, allow me to announce a piece of good news, especially for the majority of women and some male compatriots, it is a blessing in misfortune for Mr. Gunter to be unscathed. He still has an extraordinary handsome appearance and unparalleled ability to speak.

At 7 o'clock this morning, the Ministry of Magic ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. The assailant stated that his actions were for the safety of fellow wizards. He firmly believes that dark creatures, such as vampires, werewolves and elves, are all inferior creatures and should not Enjoy the same rights as wizards.This reminds us of the new law voting activity promoted by Mr. Gunter a few days ago - "Dark Creatures Rights Act" (you can directly turn to the eighth edition to read, and I will not repeat it here.) As we all know, this bill It has also caused violent shocks in the recent stage. Should we give equal rights to dark creatures?Who was really against their integration into wizarding society?Are we really blinded by prejudice?Here I have the honor to interview a few passers-by, let us listen carefully to their voices.

"I think it's absolutely absurd to say that vampires, werewolves and other so-called lower creatures have histories and wizards that intermingle and we've lived together for such a long time and still have nothing to do, sorry I can't understand why not Treat them as equals." Mr. M told me very angrily, his beautiful silver eyes shining with anger, "What annoys me even more is that the perception that pure-blood wizards despise them is unfounded, spreading Those who spread rumors have sinister intentions."

"More than that," Mr. A, who accompanied him, told me, "these words come from the mouths of the sorcerers. In my opinion, they are the ones who are really prejudiced. Who would have thought that the sorcerers would put The racist ideas of the Muggles have been brought into the wizarding society and spread widely. A few days ago, I went to Muggle London because of my family business. I passed a dilapidated orphanage and just happened to encounter bullying. This is really bad. The child who was bullied was only four years old, and the older child who bullied him was only seven or eight years old, and they called each other monsters cruelly! Of course, I stopped those bad deeds."

"May I know the reason for the bullying?" I asked.

"It's horrible, I must admit that I have a well-deserved distaste for Muggles," Mr. A blushed, and I could even smell the magic in the air rising from his anger. Naturally, this is an exaggeration. Mr. A continued, "He is a bitch wizard, and children can't always control magical accidents. Unfortunately, this is considered evil by Muggles. The poor child told me that he was taken away every week. Going to church to do so-called exorcism of demons is not a healthy activity, and I can guarantee that he was shaking when he stated it."

"Disgusting." Mr. M said, "Even if it sounds absurd, I still agree with You-Know-Who's views on Muggles and Muggle wizards. The Ministry of Magic has a record of where Muggle wizards go, and most of them choose Give up the wizarding world and stay in the Muggle world to work. But we have no right to erase their memories, which greatly increases the possibility of our existence being exposed. Muggles are not as kind and fragile as we imagined, and some are even very evil. Specifically, you can refer to wizard hunting in the Middle Ages. I can guarantee that this is not just a historical event that has passed, and the Muggles have the power to counter us."

"Yes, like that small thing the size of a fingernail, it shoots out of the long tube much faster than we finish reading Latin. If we don't prepare in advance, we will only be at a disadvantage. " Mr. A showed a horrified expression, "Not to mention that big iron bird, the things it drops can directly blow up the entire village! Muggles are full of violent creatures! They are afraid of being different!"

I appreciate their cooperation, which raises new questions, how do we resist Muggles?Is Dumbledore's opinion outdated?But what I look forward to more is Mr. Gunter's answer.I had the pleasure of speaking briefly with him at the office of the Division of Legal Enforcement.

"How to deal with Muggle and Muggle wizards? This is a problem that has plagued the wizarding society for a long time." Mr. Gunter admitted his doubts frankly. "Before the attack, I was a staunch pro-Muggle faction, and peace has always been my goal." A gift of hope to Britain."

"Have you changed your mind now?" I asked.

Mr. Gaunt's charming smile is so intoxicating that I swear my heart was pounding.He raised his chin and said gently: "This kind of transformation is allowed, especially after encountering something. In fact, I think Mr. Dumbledore's views have a lot to be improved. At the same time, I have learned from the mysterious A reasonable part of the human mind. You see, the risk of exposure would be much less if we could force hemplings to remain in wizarding society or strip them of their magic and memories should they decide to leave."

"But it sounds brutal."

"For the greater good, the sacrifice of a few is necessary. Muggles are very dangerous, and my advice is to never have any contact with them. The Ministry of Magic should track down the magic of the Muggles when they are first displayed. Suppress its power. Don't give them the opportunity to understand magic from the very beginning, although extreme is indeed the most effective, children will not be willing to be taken away from their parents." Mr. Gunter's tone is very firm, "The current population of the wizarding world is enough to reproduce Interest, I think many pure-blood families can give up the tradition of only having one child. This is originally to prevent the emergence of inheritance disputes, but I believe that if someone can enter this field of research, they will definitely find a way to prevent family cannibalism. "

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule."

Dear readers, let us ask ourselves, do you share the same anxieties?Please owl your views on the treatment of Muggles and splinters to the Minister for Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, and I am sure he will consider them. 】

"A very smart move. He put aside his pro-Muggle political views. You and Dumbledore were defeated." Tom's eyes were full of excitement. He liked challenges, especially challenges from rivals in love. It sounds weird.

"Yeah, but he said one thing and said another. How could Voldemort be content with isolating Muggles and wizards alone? He must have other plans - as a politician he would remain neutral, as a Dark Lord he would Will continue to torment bitch wizards and Muggles."

"No, that will only be temporary." Tom said after a moment of thought, "Obviously, the public will accept his views because of this report. It seems objective and fair, but in fact, there is a tendency to hate Muggles between the lines , This kind of subtle influence is the most dangerous. Thomas Gaunt will slowly lead everyone to believe that Muggles should be surrendered, and Voldemort will gradually restrain himself. At that time, the identities of politicians and Dark Lords can be combined into one One."

"This sounds particularly bad." Harry expressed his opinion conservatively, which is indeed in line with Voldemort's character, and he will not easily give up his goal of world domination, "That can only reveal his true identity, the sooner The better."

"What do you plan to do?" Tom hooked Harry's little finger and played with it boredly. Although the latter didn't understand what was so interesting about it, he let him go if it didn't hinder him.

"Eat and sleep," Harry said with a sly smile, "I'll think about it tomorrow, anyway, with you and Hermione, it's more than enough to deal with a Voldemort. By the way, not to mention that Dumbledore is here too."

Tom had a long face, full of displeasure, and sometimes, he really wanted to slap Dumbledore into the wall.Dumbledore, who is always damned but can't die, hurts his mood.

"I've always been puzzled by your inexplicable jealousy." Harry grabbed Tom's restless fingers and slowly stroked the protruding knuckles.Those were the most beautiful hands Harry had ever seen. They were fair and slender like those of a pianist, and the nails were cut very round, with tender pink underneath, making the hands look alive.

"I'm not jealous."

"Don't make excuses, I can feel your emotions." Harry pressed the two rings together, "Do you know that we are bound to each other and belong only to each other?"

"What if I don't trick you into wearing it?" Tom held Harry back, "Would you choose someone else?"

"You said it as if you would give me this chance. Everyone knows that Marvolo Gaunt is a random guy who will never let go of what he wants." Harry's voice was very soft, but full of tenderness , which made Tom smile involuntarily, "No matter what happens, even if you do it all over again, you will still trick me into binding my soul to you."

"You regret it?" Oh, he knew Harry's answer and just wanted to hear it again.

"Of course not, this is my own choice."

"Glad to hear another confession from you," Tom said, lifting Harry across his arms and throwing him on the bed, who gave him a resentful look.The black-haired Slytherin waved his hand to extinguish the fireplace. In the darkness, the mattress sank, and only Harry's deep, magnetic voice reached Harry's ears, "Good night, little bastard."
